    I replied to you a while back privately but I have made an Instagram for my work. IG- beeinteriordesign 

    will be uploading more pictures soon! Hope you check it out and like my work.

    What she meant was, is that if you are wanting clients for your services, keep your portfolio/previous on the desk so people can see before they seek. I also suggest you have a flickr based portfolio, as not everyone has or might have IG for sl.

    Welcome Rayne -- we just have fun here. If it is in the blue family (or even not) it's all good.  :D.   I see you had lots of fun with accessories!   Great. 

    Well, it's blue, but looks close to indigo. And yes I did had fun with accessories, I took it one for my blogs, ;D but yeah, if you're not wearing accessories, it's like a garden without grass. 🤣

  4. This is my first time here doing this challenge, and I hope it's close to indigo, or would be called as one. So yeah, this is my picture for this week. Also Raye is my display name. Which I actually prefer to be called as instead of my username.

    what you are willing to pay for "awesome" images. :)

    Your first comment depicts something else.

    I photograph for free at any time. You not?

    Your this comment is confusing people.

     

    You know, you're so special, that I even feel bad for your dog. :')

    Wow.  I've been doing pics for friends for years.  Never ever had all those issues. Anyhow,  that's completely irrelevant to the initial post. Wonder if maybe it's you and not them.   I've seen plenty of people here on the employment section and the wanted section asking for a photographer.  None have stipulated a price they are willing to pay.  Not how it's done.  You get photographers to reply with samples of their work and a price list.    I guess I assumed anyone would know that.

    It would be like asking "how much does that cost?". And the other person replies, "How much do you have?".   

     

    He sounds awful.

    I'm looking for someone to make a beach landscape around my Onsu Cedar House (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Onsu-Cedar-House/15382601)

    With pathing to a secluded bench/picnic area. My parcel size is 4080m, and money is not an issue for me. (every inch of it doesn't have to be detailed either)

    my house is on the border of a shore, so water doesn't have to manually be made, I just want the beach aspect further incorporated into the build of my house.

     

    I am also looking for an adult interior decorator, to decorate the inside of my onsu home after landscaping is finished, money is also not an issue for me in this aspect.

    Please link your desired price, and previous work/portfolio, I am not interested to work with others who have no previous work examples.

    This will also be my first time hiring anybody to work on my parcel, patience would be appreciated. 

    Hello, I have sent you a Notecard inworld regarding interior decorating, please have a look.

    Hi Quistessa! Thanks for your quick response. I am looking for a full out of the box experience - something I can just receive and immediately use. I've suffered and wasted so much time trying to make what I want and unfortunately cannot afford the time now to spend more time learning. I am not too picky, but here are some basic requests:

    - high res, high-end avatar model with a pretty but simple face (girl 25 to 35)

    - red hair (ponytail would be great if possible) (not bright red, but red as in a natural ginger)

    - glasses

    - nerdy/pale/innocent face with some freckles (if possible)

    - no makeup or jewelry

    - would be nice if the skin had some realistic texture with freckles too

    - very skinny w/ thigh gap, breasts < A

    - I like a slightly bony frame if that's possible (but not anorexic)

    Ideally with two clothing presets:

    - jeans & normal t-shirt, very plain appearance

    - regular panties/bra

    And some kind PJs option for home

     

    If there was a way to summarize what I am looking for it would be in two sentences:

    - high quality realistic avatar

    - very simple look in terms of style/glasses/face, etc that is extremely plain, typical to a person who doesn't care about their looks

    If you have some images of what the avatar you are thinking of would generally look like (in terms of quality, resolution, texture) or the closest to this you can think of, perhaps you can share a pic so that  I can just have a general idea of what to expect.

    I am not too picky, but I would like a high-end avatar that generally looks like the description I provided. Do you think that seems doable and if so, would you be able to give a fixed cost estimate of how much you would (1) charge for the service and (2) how much the avatar would cost ballpark with all the clothes/skins/body/mesh/etc

     

     

    Hey Annie, if you are looking for an avatar makeover, I might be able to help you out with that, I could take you to places based on your requests. And I'm guessing you're wanting something like these pictures down below?

    While a "Full-time job" isn't really a thing on SL to my knowledge, unless you're self employed or somehow work for a big-name creator, I think there are plenty of jobs that expect you to be at a certain place at a certain time, even if that place and time is negotiated in advance.

    True, unless you're in active roleplay, then might consider as any job "full time" or "part time".

    I have been on SL for a year now, but haven't had a job yet. I do not have any experience but willing to learn anything. You can contact me on SL or on my IG @ mulaaii.sl

     

    I don't think there's anything like "part time job" in SL. Whatever you work at, you can choose your own timings for it. You can work whenever you want to.

    Gigs every 3 weeks or so at our themed events every Saturday 1-2.30pm SLt. It helps if the DJ can offer varied music, from Scott Joplin to Tuba Skinny, Swing, Blues, Soul, C&W, 60s, Rock, New Wave, Reggae etc: The event themes are mutually agreed each time so you don't have to offer all of these. Minimum payment of L$1000 per gig. Please contact Christi Maeterlinck.

    Can the dj play trance, remixes or any other EDM styles?

    Yeah video  uaAKjx0DkYg  isn't bad. As Quistessa noted, could be a bit more focused. Covers a lot of good info though.

    I found 2 other videos that I would recommend (other than the one that I might upload at some point : )

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EpJ4Buqhbk

    Of all 3 I'm listing here, that one (_EpJ4Buqhbk) is probably the best in terms of the way the author presents the info.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdZm93R_U0s

    That one is not bad. I love that the author has a very pleasing personality - a very important thing to me just as an aside. However, drawbacks of that video as I see it is that its oriented a bit towards more knowledgeable SL users and with the goal of scrimping on L$. My video will not be concerned with how much L$ are being spent, and instead is purposely oriented with creating a really pretty avatar with cost being no object. I'm sure that aspect of it will rankle some people but the logic is thus: to get a really high-end beautiful look, you'll spend $50-60 USD total maybe. As opposed to spending $10-20 while being focused on spending as little money as possible. I would say, if you really want to tool around in SL for years with a high-end looking avatar, at least for me it's worth a one time up front $60 cost rather than $20. (Especially when you consider the fact that everyone routinely spends anywhere from $40-100 every month just on their cell phones!)

    And, for all 3 of the above videos: they all use the genus head. This is why at one point I mentioned earlier that I thought about having two sections in my video, one for the Lelutka head and one for the Genus head. I had already gone through the learning process with Rowan on the Lelutka head and created my avatar's initial version of body/head/skins using it (that I am totally happy with), and then as I was researching saw everybody and their sister using the Genus head.

    But now I think it will be just fine to stick with what I've got for my video because it also seems as if the Lelutka head and Legacy body (none of the above 3 videos use the Legacy body either) are fairly popular options. Note that In a way it is quasi-addressing the critiques in terms of, well, you're only doing one combination of components (which these other videos could be criticized about that too, couldn't they?). I.e., I would be adding to the "tutorial video ecosystem" the combination of Lelutka head and Legacy body, which I don't see in any other tutorial videos. And, **I** have already accomplished my own personal goal of creating a beautiful body/head/skins and I really don't even have any interest in taking the time to learn how the Genus head works or any other body. Remember that my goal - like a lot of people who try out SL, I would expect - is not to become an SL guru, but to just get an attractive, polished avatar created and then go hang out and chat and go shopping for clothes with my friends in SL. That's it. Yes I'm taking time to work on this super-duper tutorial video of mine but beyond that, that's all Mandy is going to be up to in SL.

    The point still being that my video will be very carefully constructed and tightly focused to being appropriate for people starting without any pre-existing knowledge of SL. After successfully getting through my video, they'll have a glimpse of the "big picture" if you will, and if they then wanted to plow their way through these other videos (perhaps to switch their Lelutka head for a Genus head, for instance), they should totally have the base of knowledge to accomplish that.

    One final word before I leave this discussion and go about my bidness.

    A persistent problem in the tech industry is that people who are tasked with producing tutorial/instructional material about complex subjects, vary widely in their ability to do so, for one reason and one reason only: as an instructor, one needs to have the ability to perform a kind of Jedi mind trick and erase the part of their brain that contains the knowledge that they are trying to teach, so that they can analyze every sentence that comes out of their mouth for how it sounds to someone who doesn't know the subject.

    Now that might sound elementary to some people, and really difficult to others. But I tend to think that people who are really good teachers/instructors have a kind of natural talent for doing that. IOW it's one of those kinds of things that would be hard to just teach someone how to do.

    The second problem is that whether with people who are tasked with producing tutorial/instructional material, or just anyone who is trying to help someone learn something (or someone who is commenting on the topic of people learning something), it is a fairly common aspect of human nature that once someone already knows some topic really well, it becomes really hard for them to do something like the mind-wipe thing, to go back in time and put themselves in the shoes of someone who knows nothing about that topic.

    Now I've met a lot of co-workers over the years that were great at explaining stuff about anything to anyone right off the cuff. But we've all also met a lot of people - software developers are famous for this - who are pretty much completely incapable of explaining a technical topic to other developers even, much less technical info to non-technical end users. The type of syndrome where they know it all and it becomes impossible - or, in many cases, they don't have the patience - for them to put themselves in the shoes of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about and teach it to them step by step starting from a state of zero knowledge.

    This is something I have specialized in doing many times within company environments and in formal teaching environments. Wanna have a challenging experience? Try teaching a mixed class of 19 - 50 something year old adult learners, who have no prior computer programming experience, Programming Fundamentals in C++ 101. In a night class from 6pm to 9pm, after they've worked a full day of work at their regular jobs. It takes a lot, presenting the material in a particular way, just to keep those students awake, much less teach them a very challenging technical topic in a way that they will understand it.

    So just a bit more info on why I think I can do what I am talking about here and produce a video which will add value to the info that is already out there.

    At this point I will adjourn from this discussion. Latest news is that it may take considerably longer for me to get this project done, because I was on a sort of break for awhile, but a new job just popped out of the woodwork unexpectedly and I start full time on it on Monday 4/6.

    Everyone take care and be well.

    Mandy

    Hey Mandy, if you are still struggling with it, let me help you out. I will sit with you, and explain and answer all of your questions regarding the upgrade. You don't have to pay me anything, I just want to help you from the bottom of my heart 😄 I have sent you an IM in-world, if you haven't received it, you can IM @karenx0  😄 And don't listen to people if they call you a noob or something, everyone was a noob at some point of time, heck there are people with 15+ years in SL but still doesn't know most of it, and then there are people with only 6 months or 1 year, and they know most of it. Plus there's a first time for everything. If they calling you noob, it's okay to be a noob, you get to learn and experience about it in a new way, so you help out the next generation as well =D
